Running it, start to finish
- Rank suppliers by how quickly their failure stops you working.
- Check whether sole sources are genuine or merely unexplored.
- Identify second sources for the critical dependencies now.
What you get back
The output this produces, every time.
- Ranks by what stops working rather than by contract value.
- Distinguishes genuine sole sources from ones where nobody has looked for an alternative.
- Finds hidden concentration where several suppliers share an upstream source.
Getting better results
Where this usually goes wrong, and how to avoid it.
- Look at the small critical suppliers. The one causing immediate stoppage is frequently a minor line item nobody reviews.
- Identify a second source before you need one. It costs a few hours and is almost always done only after the first failure, when it costs far more.
- Establish data exit before it matters. How you get your data out, in what format and how fast, should be known before the relationship is under strain.
